While others splashed out on silver hairbrushes and golden rocking horses, Roots drummer Questlove has revealed what he bought Blue Ivy Carter for her birthday gift – an iPod.
Questo says he loaded up the music player with 4,000 specially chosen tracks, planning to give rap’s most famous infant songs from every letter of the alphabet.
The original plan was for Blue to rock to 12,000 tracks, but the multi-talented musician only had time to reach the letter J.
“Jay loves it,” he told the New York Daily News. “I put like 4,000 songs on it. Ironically, I only got to the letter J.”
“We have a system now where I’ll re-up it once a year, every Christmas – It’s the gift that keeps on giving.”
That’s cute – and it’ll definitely give baby Blue enough musical inspiration when she takes over her parents’ superstar throne… although we bet Jay’s Kingdom Come album didn’t make the cut.
What songs would you have included on the iPod?
